Another bargain!

My brothers first car was a 89F Fiat Panda 4x4 Sisley. It was absolute garabge but he loved it. I think the top speed was 25 mph in 4x4 mode

[Welly]

I remember those, 1000cc? and 4WD had a high ride height too

I see a tiny 4x4 Fiat around here a lot, I think it belongs to the electric co. Not sure what sort of Fiat it is, just white, tiny, slow and generally in the way.

Apparently they are a very compitent off roader but quite terrible on road due to a puny petrol the new panda scouts no better and the diesel one is a disel small fiat its just not right a small fiat needs a small free revving engine the new panda is an absolute hoot to drive I had the 54bhp 1.1 which would beat any car to 30 then the rest was all high rev madness but there is a 100bhp 1.4 that would be worth a try. All the pandas are great fun on an icy or gravelly yard

Very descriptive ad Looks like it's just been pulled out of lake where it's sat for 20 years...

[FarmerPug]

Suit export, that applies to nearly any car, what unique qualities makes that more desirable to someone from a foreign land, what i dont like about that green is it means its been sitting and there is very little reason to leave a hilux sitting as they dont break on their own accord only if the owner has done something, there is probably a serious problem with it. But who cares it suits export.

[Welly]

Maybe it's had a 'small crisis' in the engine department, making it suitable for being evicted from the country.

[Welly]

Looking again, I see the tell-tale sign of being towed there (bit of rag hanging at the front) and looking at the camber on the front wheels and the high nose I think the engines outta there so, suitable for export as what? a plant pot?

[steve_earwig]

It'd sell like hot cakes here! Oooh, it's 4x4, worth a fortune. Never mind the engine's taken a walk

[steve_earwig]

Just checking back on that crushed velvet rust bucket - he lied, no new pics. I do like the way the rev counter's stuck on "explode"

[FarmerPug]

also look at the bonnet that things been hit at some point before that bull bar was put on, though pickups like them do have a good load bay you could grow a few shrubs there very easilly.
This hilux seems to have an honest enough story but i still feel it needs avoided at all costs:

Excellent, someone's half-finished project. Bargepole anyone?

I do like the way the rev counter's stuck on "explode"

A bit like the way a clock will stop during an earthquake, revealing it's last dying moment

I do like the way the rev counter's stuck on "explode"

It actually looks like the rev counter is reversed. There a "0" would normally be in all other cars, here's it's "7" and "8"...
